any interest in instructions for custom 370z camera mount?
Over the weekend I built a camera mount for that bar behind the passenger/driver seats (forgive me, I don't know what it's called). The mount works extremely well, and cost me <$10 at a hardware store. Video from the mount has zero vibration, except for very large bumps in the road, where the video jitters for a split second. Other than that, 99% of video from it has been superb.
I was wondering if there was any interest for me to share the plans/pictures/video. Maybe someone with more experience can step in and make it look better (right now the mount itself looks hideous) or improve the function of it a bit more. It's certainly a good starting point. |
:worthless:
regardless of what it looks like, let's see it http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...t=camera+mount |

Doh, I forgot about the screw mount. it's nothing special. a 1/4"-#20 screw with a locking washer, and a piece of rubber from a mousepad to protect the camera.
I'm hesitant to post a video i uploaded to vimeo last night of me testing the mount for the first time. it involves me driving in a canyon in a not so legal way. |

I'll post up a video of my track events when I get home. BTW, not to say yours is a BAD idea at all - just saying, the things you theorize are there, arent really there in the finished product lol. |

i'd love to see a video. maybe i'll post something more legal :P thanks for not being too harsh :D |

I had more on my youtube that I didnt post up from my track event I went to. No granny driving around town though - thats kinda pointless/boring lol. I have no doubt yours will work just fine though. |

so, in that case, here is the vid: homemade camera mount test, canyon run on Vimeo ... it's not even bad. still getting used to the car (though it's not my first Z. had a 350z for 5 1/2 years before I got rear-ended a few weeks ago, and before that was a 300zx. love my Zs!) |

Here was one of my track sessions: |
awesome vid. i want to take my car to the track, but i don't have the guts to do it. zero experience w/ track driving, and i'm worried about insurance. though I guess public roads is far less safe for me and others...
either way, nice vid. my only beef with the mount is the rocking forwards and backwards during braking/accel, which is what i thought would happen when i initially saw your mount. other than that, you were right, it has no vibration (mine has a bit). now i want to build yours to compare lol |

You can get insurance for a track event. I think its $250 per event. Something I should have done my first time out haha. Oh well :) |
That looks awesome.
